After purchasing a ‘corporative’ house together in a residential complex, they soon decide that they want to conceive a baby. This is a desire which doesn’t come along too easily for them. So, the two of them set out on a mission to succeed with their new objective.

Based on the original story by author Nakatani Mayumi, a ‘corporative house’ may be understood as a house in a residential complex, whereby the residents exchange various opinions between themselves to make their lifestyles better. This new style of housing is often cheaper than owning a detached house, and many residents focus a lot on the design.

He approaches the retrial with a sense of mission as a lawyer. Shocking facts are revealed one after another but it all concerns Yusuke himself. It makes him question who exactly he is and shakes his sense of mission and his feelings.

Three elite siblings—a doctor (eldest son), a lawyer (only daughter), and a cop (youngest son)—go all out to solve a “problem” that’s destroying their family’s peace. You can be sure this family will solve any problem. They conduct strategy meetings during their family meetings, and “the family’s happiness” is always top priority–more important than the law or common sense.

Leading the cast of characters is Kitazawa Shusaku (Yamada Ryosuke), a University of Tokyo graduate who works at the Metropolitan Police Department. He’s one of the few who has potential to rise to the ranks of the elite executives. Assigned to the Police Affairs Department, Shusaku studies day and night for the promotion exam in hopes of one day becoming the police commissioner. The drawback is that his sense of justice is too strong.

Equally exceptional are his older sister Chiaki (Haru) and big brother Hirofumi (Ozawa Yukiyoshi). Chiaki is a high-flying lawyer who is blessed with both beauty and brains. Her intellectual prowess and eloquence earn her the reputation of “the Kitazawa family’s brains.” Like Shusaku, Chiaki is a champion of justice but her take on things are “odd” and she ends up shocking people quite frequently. Simply put, she has no common sense.

No one doubts that the eldest brother Hirofumi is a young and talented heart surgeon. His juniors have strong faith in him and he’s rumored to be in line to becoming the medical director, even from this early on in his career. His only flaw is that he really loves himself.

Surely, no problem can stand against the elite trio of “cop,” “lawyer,” and “doctor.” They should be able to solve any issue even before it begins. But the older two have personalities and opinions so strong that the youngest Shusaku ends up picking up the slack.

Such was how they were raised by their father Kitazawa Taizo (Nakamura Baijaku), headmaster of the private middle school Kitazawa Academy. His book on his “secrets” to raising three University of Tokyo graduates became a bestseller and the number of parents dreaming of putting their kids into Kitazawa Academy exploded. Taizo achieved prominence for successfully running a topnotch private middle school, but…

Step into the world of three weird siblings as they weave a ridiculous but somehow beautiful story of family love. Will the lead character, the youngest child who became a cop but somewhat lacks an elitist pretense, mature as a person? Family love vs work ethics–this is the struggle the Kitazawa family is mired in, and they always wind up splitting hairs asking, “Why does it turn out that way?” Follow their antics in this racy “ROTF comedy” fit for the entire family!

Again and again, I get killed. “I don’t want love. I want money and power–things that can be seen and felt,” says scumbag lead character Dojima Otaro (Yamazaki Kento). Blessed with a handsome face, Otaro rises to the top of his game and becomes the most sought-after host at the club. Epitomizing the old cliché, “No money, no honey,” he is the ultimate player who is quick to move on to the next woman as soon as the cash stops flowing.Due to an unfortunate incident twelve years ago, Otaro’s family fell apart and everyone went their own separate ways. He was forced to drop out of high school, leave home, and support himself by working at a host club. As he likes to say, “Stupid women jump all over the ‘fake’ love I offer, and in exchange I get their ‘real’ money.”One day, Otaro meets the daughter of a CEO whose personal net worth is reported to be around 100 million US dollars. He is convinced that this scion to the Namiki Group of Hotels is the perfect girl for him. “She’s my next target,” he schemes.That’s when another woman appears. Her face is pale and bluish, but her lips are bright red. Her gift to Otaro–the “Kiss that Kills.” Just one kiss from her, and he is immediately stricken with breathing difficulties, full-body seizures, and heart palpitations–until finally, he dies.Yet he comes back to life… Otaro realizes he is reliving exactly what happened a few days ago. “Same situations, locations, and conversations… perhaps I’m in a time loop?”All because of a mysterious “kissing woman,” Otaro has to experience the same “death” and “time” over and over again. He ponders, “Why do I have to get killed and what is this kissing woman all about?”The plot thickens as the quest to unravel the mystery of the “death loop” and the pursuit of wealth and power gain momentum in this love story gone astray!

A precious, touching drama… A girl Tsujisawa Harika (Hirose Suzu) who lost her family and became separated from society can no longer figure out a way to live. The story begins when she meets an old woman Hayashida Anone (Tanaka Yuko). Deception and betrayal have hardened them to the point of no longer being able to believe in people.

The two eventually realize that they feel the same way about many things, and the old woman shelters the girl. Theirs is a fake family and fake life, with fake memories. Suddenly, an incident occurs.
